November - December 2016 Page 3 News from the EEA Office N Collective Kitchen Program Starting in January 2017 This is a combined support and training program to assist members living on a limited income who lack a knowledge of proper nutrition, as well of budgeting and cooking skills. Working collectively, course participants are guided into the world of nutrition and how it affects their seizures and overall health. The course also covers issues such as low cost cooking, food preparation, budgeting skills and planning ahead. A hands-on course, it has components of active teaching. Each participant gets to take home what they have cooked, usually four to six individual portions, in freezable containers capable of fitting into a fridge freezer compartment. The next Collective Kitchen Project runs from 12:30-3:00 pm on Friday January 13, February 10, March 17, April 14, May 12 and June 16. Interested members can phone Sharon at the EEA Office at 780-488-9600 to register. Registration is limited to eight participants. 2017 EEA Scholarship Awards The Edmonton Epilepsy Association will fund two $1000 Scholarships in 2017, for the purpose of assisting students to advance to or continue with College or University studies.

Despite fre- quent migraines caused by a brain tumor, Dannicka Kequahtooway is striving to live a cheerful and rich life filled with interesting experiences. Dannicka will be entering Grade 11 this fall and lives with her parents, Crystal and Bruce, on a farm outside of Broadview. At age 6, she was diagnosed with an inoperable frontal-temporal brain tumor. Doctors said that this type of tumor typically rup- tures between the ages of 26 and 30, so every six months Dannicka un- dergoes an MRI scan. The tumor has not grown and seizures have decreased since the diagnosis, but she still suffers from severe head- aches and some memory loss. In spite of these challenges, Dannicka continues to push herself and accept whatever opportunities come her way, including the chance to be crowned Miss Teen Canada. Earlier this year, Miss Canada Globe Productions con- tacted Dannicka and inquired whether she would be interested in participating in the Miss Teen Canada pageant, the preliminary event for Miss Teen Universe. Contestants must be 13 – 17 years old and enrolled in a high school or post-secondary program. They must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resi- dent and be good role models.
